If you are sincere, then demand Islamic Unity. Everyone criticizes everyone else. Tens of thousands of Islamic scholars are all cåriticizing one another in the Islamic world. Once we have Islamic Unity, there will be an assembly binding Muslims together. A parliament of knowledge. Then what can people say? Can they oppose it on their own? They will obey it. But they do not want it. Everyone wants to be king. Everyone wants to be in charge. They immediately accuse anyone who speaks of the way of the Mahdi of claiming to be the Mahdi. Forget this demagoguery. You are clearly standing against the way of the Mahdi. Most of them do not want Islamic Unity, either, it would seem. It is quite amazing.

168 - They are those who said of their brothers, when they themselves had stayed behind, ‘If they had only obeyed us, they would not have been killed.’ Had it been this way, they would not have died, people say. “Say, ‘Then ward off death from yourselves if you are telling the truth’.”

Allah says that death is inevitable.

169 -“Do not suppose that those killed in the Way of Allah are dead.“ It is unlawful to say that martyrs are dead. “No indeed! They are alive and well provided for in the very presence of their Lord,” With fine foods. He says they are not dead. The normal dead know they are dead, “I have died,” they say, but the martyrs do not know. They think they are alive. Allah regulates their memories and everything accordingly, so they do not know.

170- “...delighting in the favor Allah has bestowed on them,” They are always joyful. They are never saddened. They know no trouble, only joy. “...rejoicing over those they left behind who have not yet joined them,” the other heroes, in other words. If only they knew about this happy place, they would come happily, they say. “...feeling no fear and knowing no sorrow,”

They have no fear. They may be sinners in this world, but once they become martyrs, that is lifted from them. That is a great comfort. They live there in such a way as to earn constant merit.

171- “...rejoicing in blessings and favor from Allah and that Allah does not let the wage of the faithful go to waste.”

They say that Allah's promise is true.

172-“...among those who responded to Allah and the Messenger after the wound had been inflicted will have an immense reward:”

They are still waging jihad, masha’Allah. Those who still speak of moral virtues and fervor and struggle and striving on the path of Allah. “...will have an immense reward.” They have been wounded but are tightly devoted to Islam. Those brave men say, “I will go back again.” The father of one martyr said, “I believe in martyrdom, and there is not the slightest sorrow in my heart.” He said his son had died for Allah, for the Book, for the motherland and for the nation.

173-“...those to whom people said, ‘The people have gathered against you,” The PKK have gathered against you, the communists have gathered against you. “...so fear them" There are people who say, “They will do bad things in the cities, so let us give up some land and be free from them. This is no laughing matter; they will burn Istanbul down. Let us give them what they want so they leave us alone.” “But that merely increased their faith and they said, ‘Allah is enough for us and the Best of Guardians’.”

That is what our heroic soldiers say, masha’Allah.

(In response to an e-mail from a viewer saying; “You say, ‘I am not the Mahdi’. You recently said the Mahdi is in Istanbul. So who is this Mahdi who lives in Istanbul? Name him, so we can know and go and swear allegiance to him.”)

Bediüzzaman Said Nursi states quite explicitly that, “The Mahdi will appear in Istanbul.” He gives the date. He will appear in “1400,” he says. He says that in eight different places. Twice he says he will appear in Istanbul. “He will bring down Darwinism and materialism,” he says. Whatever you do, find him. Islam will reign and all Muslims will bind themselves to him. He will become the leader of Muslims and the imam of the world. He will be the imam of the Christian, Jewish and Muslim worlds. So what will we say then? Allahualem. There is no other way.

Surat al-Anfal, 65

“O Prophet! spur on the faithful to fight. If there are twenty of you who are steadfast, they will overcome two hundred; and if there are a hundred of you, they will overcome a thousand of those who are disbelivers, because they are people who do not understand.”

That is why we must take care to be a society of believers. Then we will overcome all things. We will reign and be the leader of the world and the region. We will acquire enormous strength and plenty. Otherwise, we will be cursed, may Allah forbid. We will be ruined and wretched. Allah says we can only be saved through faith, that we must be strong in all ways. The only way to be strong militarily is to have deep faith.
